Chapter 425: The Emperor's Birthday Banquet 1
Su Yuan came and knelt down to bow to Bai Xian, his face full of joy: "When I saw Yu Cheng for the first time, I thought he looked very much like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he was a child!" It turns out that he really is! It's great that you're back now! ”
Bai Xianyan said: "Su Niangzi, I have long wanted to thank you in person. But whether it is at home or in the East Palace, he has been busy settling and tidying up, and it is not easy to entertain guests. ”
Su Yuanyu: "Don't be so polite, there is no first queen, and there is no me today, I am very happy to be able to help you." What's more, you gave me so many silver taels, and I didn't have anywhere to spend them! ”
Saying that, she took out the silver taels that Bai Xianyan gave her at that time, and she was going to return it to her.
Bai Xianyan naturally refused to refuse, and told her that she still had something to ask her to help.
Su Yuan listened to it, and told her that this matter was on her, she was the chief pipa player of the palace Yuefu, and her fame was there, and she had a lot of say in Yuefu.
When the time comes, she will be the accompaniment pipa player and personally attend the emperor's birthday banquet.
As for the question of harmony, Su Yuanyu asked her not to underestimate the palace music, no matter what kind of rhythm they had, they could keep up.
Su Yuanyuan also told her that when King Liang was twelve or thirteen years old, he danced a dance evolved from a sacrificial dance at the emperor's birthday banquet, and the emperor was very happy.
Since then, Zhu Wu has become popular among the nobility of the capital, both men and women.
Later, sword dances, whip dances, and so on arose, and the boundaries between noble women not dancing became more and more blurred.
Bai Xianyan was pleasantly surprised, she has been very fond of dancing since she was a child, but she can only practice secretly, and she can't jump out in public, and there is always a sense of unease.
Nowadays, it seems that a lot of things will change over time.
……
The Emperor's Birthday Banquet.
The emperor and queen sit side by side on the main seat, and the front row on the right is the queen mother, the concubine, the concubine and the young prince and princess.
But the position of the Queen Mother was empty, and the emperor said that she was unwell.
On the left, according to the rank of the prince, the prince, the prince, the prince, the marquis, the uncle, the son, and the male are arranged, the husband and wife are at the same table, and the single prince or the old lady has made another arrangement, and the children are seated in the back row...... In the huge Taiji hall, the seats are full, crowded, and the six bells are excited, preaching on the clouds, which is very lively.
Bai Xianyan looked over at the palace drum music, and sure enough, in the most conspicuous position, she saw Su curling with a pipa.
She smiled slightly, then looked at the fourth princess opposite, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
smiled, Huan Yu snuggled his eyes again and gestured to her.
Bai Xianyan looked behind her and actually saw Bai Wanrou in the crowd.
She was expressionless, looking at herself with a cold look in her eyes.
Didn't she say that she never attended palace banquets? What's going on today?
And this look, so cold, I'm afraid that her idea of marrying to the East Palace has failed?
Bai Xianyan raised her eyebrows at her, and then went to look at Wu Mi.
Wu Mi sat in a very high position, second only to the three concubines, and was the first person under the queen.
She still wears a veil, but it does not affect her limelight as the first person in the harem, and the whole person looks graceful and powerful, which is not comparable to those young concubines.
But Bai Xianyan found that Wu Mi's attention was not on the emperor's side, nor on the prince and herself, but on the back place.
Bai Xianyan looked over there and saw her father and mother at a glance.
